Butterfly Weed

Butterfly weed grows in large clumps. Here it is yellow, but later turns a bright orange.

So orange it is almost a red. The butterflies flock to it.

Other names are Chigger Weed, Indian Posy, and Orange Root.

This butterfly I spotted is not one I know. I thought it was beautiful orange and black, but not a monarch.  

Butterfly Weed is from the milkweed family.
